Furuno Touch Encoder
Best tactile controller for marine navigation display users.
Hello there! Get ready to simplify the control of your Furuno TZTouch2 and TZTouch3 displays with the Furuno Touch Encoder in a stylish Silver finish. This compact unit offers the best of both worlds by emulating the familiar Edge Swipe interface while also featuring a handy RotoKey. This RotoKey makes it easy to access and control common operations like zooming in/out on your charts and quickly scrolling through menus. The TEU001 is compatible with the latest versions of NavNet TZtouch 2 and TZtouch 3. You can use the touch encoder for edge swipes (up, down, left, right) to access menu options, as well as long and short press functions, and panning/zooming on charts. If you have multiple TZTouch units, remember that you'll need one TEU001 for each display. This specific model comes with a Stainless Steel Silver Bezel.
